ENABLE_TEXT_COMMAND

Flag to enable human-readable text command protocol.

Controls whether the serial protocol uses human-readable text commands or binary commands. Only one protocol is compiled per build; they cannot coexist.

v2 (Always Enabled)

In v2, the text command protocol is a standard feature — always enabled, no flag required.

Available commands include GET_STATUS, GET_UPTIME, SET_POLL_COUNT, SET_DEADTIME, and others. See Commands Reference for the full list.

v1 (Configurable)

In v1, the text command protocol is opt-in via ENABLE_TEXT_COMMAND.

Default

  • v1: Disabled by default (ENABLE_TEXT_COMMAND=0, binary protocol)

Options

  • ENABLE_TEXT_COMMAND=1: Enable text commands (development mode)
  • ENABLE_TEXT_COMMAND=0: Use binary protocol (production default)

Override with platformio.override.ini

[env:esp32dev-v1]
build_flags =
    -D ENABLE_TEXT_COMMAND=1
